Applied Gravity Loads

The Applied Gravity Loads section is organized first by frame number and then by floor type. Within each floor type, data is separated by member type. Every frame column is listed along with its column number, live load reduction factors and loading information. Every frame beam is listed along with its beam number, beam length, live load reduction factors, and loading information. Every frame wall is listed, similar to beams. The Live Load Reduction factors are applied to the analysis results to obtain design forces for each member.
